GREECE Rules: 1.A group of children they are holding hands thus forming a

closed circle and they are walking both clockwise and anticlockwise, rhythmically singing and dramatizing the lyrics.

2.The kid who plays the part of the ''wolf '' stands away from the circle lurking to chase and catch them, while getting dressed as if he were a person. 3. During the song the kids ask questions and the ''wolf '' gives answers forming in this way a dialogue between the two, which goes like that: I'm walking- I 'm walking in the forest when the wolf isn't here. Wolf, wolf, are you here? I'm putting on my waistcoat! I' m putting on my jacket ! I'm putting on my pants ! I'm putting on my shoes ! I'm putting on my hat ! Wolf , wolf, are you here? I'm taking my stick and I'm chasing you !!! 4. The wolf is chasing the kids and every kid he touches with

his stick gets ''burnt'' and quits the game. When the wolf catches all the kids in the group, he takes his clothes off and then a new kid plays the part of the wolf . In this way, the play song is repeated.

The aim of the game: is the dramatization which leads to the psychokinetic expression through the rhythm, the lyrics and the role alteration- it ultimately leads to the kids socializing via role play. Kids cultivate their imagination , take initiative and have a good time while improving their motor skills.
